Coot diving for freshwater molluscs – If I could give a single piece of advice to an aspiring wildlife photographer, or to a keen amateur looking to improve their technique it would be to concentrate on working locally. Not only is this cheaper, more convenient and much more environmentally friendly but by being able to spend time simply observing you will start to notice all of the subtle nuances in various aspects of a particular location. This might be the subtleties in the fall of light at different times of the year and how, as the sun completes its daily, and ever changing arc in the sky, how the fall of light changes. Alternatively it might be the subtle nuances in an animal or birds behavior, how they interact or raise their young and how these behaviors change with the seasons. What you’ll also quickly come to realise is that no day is ever the same and there is always a new image to be captured, always a new behaviour to be seen and a new experience to be enjoyed. At this particular site where this coot image was captured it’s a place that I’ve worked for 15 years, on hundreds of different occasions but every single time that I go I learn something new, observe something different or develop a new idea for an image that had previously escaped my notice. On this day, and the days previously, I’d watched these coots diving for freshwater molluscs and that on windless days, at dawn, the water in the shade would become this deep, rich blue colour. It was then simply a case of spending time watching the coots, learning to pick up on the little behavioural cues that they’d give in the moments before a dive and then simply anticipating accordingly. Here a coot is in mid-air, caught the split second before its bill penetrates the water.
